After Arsenal’s intense Champions League victory over Porto on Tuesday, Porto boss Sergio Conceicao accused Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta of using an offensive Spanish phrase directed at his late mother during a heated exchange. Conceicao expressed his displeasure in his post-match press conference urging Arteta to focus on training his team rather than engaging in such behavior.
Conceicao’s parents passed away when he was a teenager adding emotional weight to his response. Although Conceicao did not elaborate on the exact phrase used by Arteta, reports suggest it may have been interpreted as offensive. Arsenal defended Arteta, denying any wrongdoing while Arteta himself declined to comment on the matter.
UEFA is unlikely to intervene, considering similar past incidents involving Conceicao. Arteta instead focused on celebrating Arsenal’s hard-fought victory emphasizing the team’s resilience and unity in reaching the Champions League quarter-finals after 14 years.
